Come O fearful one
Closer to the edge of new beginnings
Shuffle forward if your feet
Refuse to boldly stride ahead
Worry not that you progress slowly
Promise yourself only motion speed comes later
Steps will sometimes be sideways
Acknowledge backward as only a direction
You wish not to travel
Look back only to discover your next step
And assure you you are still going forward
Don’t tell yourself it’s not fast enough for them
If it satisfies you
Push the edges of your world to expand
To radiate
Burst forth with your passion your fire
Heart not afraid at steps over the edge
As you take the leap you have to
You are now free to dazzle and shine
Like the stardust creature you are
JUMP!!
